Red Denim …. Goes to Work …

I don’t know when it all started. For years, I was a black, grey or tan pants kinda guy — if I was feeling crazy, maybe a glen plaid. Then one day, an undeniable need for color in my closet entered my clothing psyche and I have been on a quest to fill my closet with all the hues of the rainbow. Vibrant sweaters, colorful shirts and bedazzled shoes began to fill my hangers and shelves, yet when it came to pants, it was still the same old safe options.

So a few months ago, I ventured outside my comfort zone and purchased a pair of red jeans from H&M. For some, this is about as exciting as watching paint dry (which as a designer, paint drying can be exciting but I will save that for another day) but for me, purchasing these red jeans was terrifying and exhilarating. I was so excited that I asked my friend to take some shots of me in said jeans and before I knew it, we had a full-fledged ANTM photo shoot!

Red jeans are not the item that pops into my head when I think versatility but surprisingly, the jeans could easily carry me from client meetings to a dinner date to a swinging nighttime party. So I figured over the next couple of days I would demonstrate how my new red jeans carried me through my week…..

And today, let’s talk about work……

For me, nothing elevates a work outfit more than a structured jacket. But says you can’t wear your traditional camel jacket and pressed white oxford with some kicking colored denim…..

LoVE! You are rocking the red jeans and I love that outfit. Put together, classic, colorful – love it on you. I also invest in a good blazer when I can – there’s nothing like it to swing from day to night and really an investment piece.
